Another day, Another chapter. Sorry if this one sounds boring. I'm trying to lay out the story and make it last as long as i can. But patience...grasshopper patience. You will get what is coming to you in time...hahaha. But yea DON'T OWN BOONDOCKS and ya-de-ya-de-ya-da. Enjoy!

The alarm clock rung at the bitter time of 5:30 a.m. Huey woke up to an empty space on his bed. He sat up and looked around the room and still didn't see her. He got out of bed, put on his shorts, and walked out the room. He looked in the bathroom, wasn't there, looked in the living room and kitchen, wasn't there either. God forbid was she in Riley's room, but she wasn't in there either. Huey was really starting to get scared. He pulled out his phone and dialed her number. On the second ring, he heard the front door open downstairs and a ringtone blare through the house.

If I was your boyfriend, never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone
I can be a gentleman, anything you want
If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go, I'd never let you go

Huey smirked and shook his head. He went to the top of the stairs and watched her walk in with two garment bags and a suitcase. She was dressed for school but wasn't exactly wearing school clothes. Her hair was in a high ponytail, she was in a Nike sweat suit with a leotard and skirt underneath and tennis shoes. The pink leotard was awful tight around her slender torso. It really showed off her breasts and flat stomach he loved so much.

"Boyfriend?" Huey asked walking down the stairs. Jazmine looked up and blushed.

"Uhh…yeah. I think of you every time I hear it," Jazmine said.

"Well aren't I flattered," Huey said helping her with the suitcase. "Where were you? I was starting to get worried."

"I snuck over to my house and had to get a few things. Luckily no one was up and saw me." Jazmine said flinging the garment bags over her shoulder. Huey turned around and looked at her with a worried look.

"Jaz, I don't want you going over there alone." Huey said. "Something could happen to you and I won't be there to help," Huey warned. Jazmine just walked up beside him and kissed his cheek.

"Don't worry, Dad, that was the last time I'm going over there," Jazmine said sarcastically. Huey smirked and continued hauling the suitcase up to his room. Once they reached his room, Huey set the suitcase by his dresser.

"So…what's that?" Huey asked pointing at the garment bags Jazmine still had in her hands. Jazmine looked at them and then him.

"You'll just have to wait until tonight," Jazmine teased. Huey got a look of disappointment but Jazmine only smirked more teasingly. "And yeah…I'm dressed like this cause Ms. Berkley" (dance director) "wants us to be completely ready for the show tonight. So you won't really see me the whole day."

"Damn, so this really is a top-notch recital ain't it," Huey said. Jazmine nodded.

"It's not just a recital Huey. It's a whole play. It's the Junior's National Ballet." Jazmine said sternly. "If tonight goes smoothly, it could very much guarantee my life as a professional dancer. Do you know how many scouts are coming to watch this ballet?" Jazmine was starting to get a little frantic. Huey just walked over to her and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Huey whispered. "I didn't know how important this was. To you, that is. I know you're gonna do great. Any scout would be the luckiest in the world to get you," Huey said. Jazmine smiled in his eyes and kissed him back. "But Darell better not have too much fun on that stage with you," Huey joked. Jazmine playfully punched his chest but soon couldn't take her eyes off of it. Huey forgot that he was shirtless and smirked at her reaction.

"Is that what you're wearing to school?" Jazmine asked. "Cause if it is then I'm gonna have to skip warm ups today." Huey rolled his eyes and kissed her one more time before putting on some real clothes. They both went downstairs and to the kitchen.

"Want breakfast?" Huey asked but soon realized how dumb of a question that was. Jazmine gave him and 'Are you serious?' look. "Never mind," he quickly said. He wasn't exactly hungry himself either. He just grabbed an apple and Dorothy's keys and his book bag.

Before they could walk out the door, Granddad stopped them coming down from the stairs.

"Hol' up a minute!" Granddad yelled. "Cutie-pie, may I say a few words?"

"Granddad we gonna be late. Can't this wait?" Huey complained.

"Boy if you don't shut da hell up!" Granddad said. Huey rolled his eyes and stood silently. Granddad turned back to Jazmine who had a questioning look on her face. "Now, cupcake, I know you've been through a lot this weekend. Tom called me and told me what the situation is so far. You are completely welcome to our home. I'm even proud to say you are the granddaughter I've never had. We all will protect you no matter what comes after you." Granddad said pulling her into a hug. Jazmine's eyes started to water. She had never heard Mr. Freeman express himself this way to anyone. If he is coming out like this to her, then she must really mean something to him. When they parted from the hug, Jazmine nodded acceptingly and walked to Huey, who had the same sympathetic look on his face as Mr. Freeman did. Huey opened the front door for her and followed her out. "I'll see you at your ballet tonight!"

The weather was really nice. Must be lower 70s at least, the pleasure of spring. They got in the car and drove to Cindy's.

"CIN, THEY HERE!" Riley yelled. Cindy came rushing down the stairs in her regular attire, basketball shorts, a white T and a jersey over it. Riley just admired her as she ran down the stairs. She had to be the tightest white girl he has ever known. She could look like a tough baller and still look beautiful. He had to be the luckiest guy in the world. He opened the door for her and waited for her to walk through before he followed.

As Cindy made her way to the car, she sighed in relief when she saw Jazmine in the front seat. Riley and Cindy slid in the back seats.

"Jazmine are you okay girl?" Cindy asked. Jazmine looked back at her and nodded.

"Don't worry Cin, everything is okay. Huey talked to my dad and I'm just gonna be staying with him, Riley and Mr. Freeman until things calm down." Jazmine told her.

"Awh, fo real?" Riley asked. Jazmine nodded again. "Well ya'll best not be keepin me up e'ry night. I know how ya'll freaky asses be gettin' down," Riley teased.

"You never listened to me when I asked the same thing," Huey said. "And now imma get even." Jazmine and Cindy snickered.

"Now that's just cold, bruh" Riley said. He looked at the bags hanging up on the hook on the door. "By the way Jaz, what's in these bag?" he asked.

"My dress for my recital tonight, Riley," Jazmine answered. "I forgot to tell you that you, Cindy, and her family are all invited cause of all that went on this weekend." Riley just looked at her crazy while Cindy got a look of excitement.

"Man, I ain't bout ta sit through no gay ass ballet! Watchin a whole bunch of gay ass niggas in tights? Hell naw! I'm a real nigga! I don't be doin dat shit!" Riley exclaimed. Cindy just slapped him upside the head.

"Reezy, shut da hell up!" Cindy said.

"Bitch who da fu.." Riley was about to cuss her out before Cindy gave him the scariest look ever. "Man, ain't nobody scurred of yo ass, 'amn!" She may be a beautiful baller, but she wasn't afraid to show her thug side. She was a real G for sho!

"Anyway, but Jazmine that's amazing! I'm so excited!" Cindy said in a cheery voice. "You already know Imma be da loudest one up in der!" Jazmine's eyes immediately got wide.

"Oh-ho-ho no you're not! This is like a regular ballet Cin! This ain't no Lakers game. You can NOT be obnoxious! I'm sorry, but if you be your regular self, you will be kicked out," Jazmine warned her. Cindy got a look of disappointment and just sat back in her seat.

"Hush mode," Riley muttered. Cindy just reached over and slapped him again.

When they got to J. Edgar Hoover Middle School, Riley got out and went in the school. The 3 drove off and started towards J. Edgar Hoover High School. Huey parked in the second row and stopped the car. Cindy was the first to get out.

"I'll see ya'll later!" she yelled going over to her other thuggish, white girlfriends. Jazmine waved to her and got out with Huey.

Huey looked at Jazmine and Jazmine looked at Huey. They knew there was gonna be drama as soon as they stepped in the school.

"Ready for this?" Jazmine asked him. Huey nodded and took her hand. They walked through the front doors and down the hallway. Everyone stopped and looked at the new couple walking down the hallway. Most boys were eyeing Huey, congratulating him. Girls were eyeing Jazmine with hate and jealousy. Huey could feel Jazmine's hand sweat. He took a finger and gently grazed the back of her hand. Jazmine looked over at him and smiled.

"And you thought I wasn't ready for this?" Huey asked sarcastically.

"Shut up," Jazmine blushed while stepping a little closer to him. When they reached the auditorium, most of the staff was already there, getting ready for the ballet. They all looked at Huey and Jazmine and then quickly turned away and were already starting to gossip.

"Really?" Huey said.

"Theatre life is full of gossip, Huey," Jazmine reassured him. "It's alright, they'll get over it." She stood on her tip toes and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "I'll see ya tonight." She walked away and joined her friends. A few of them immediately swarmed her and asked her questions while glancing at Huey and back to her. Huey turned around awkwardly and went to his class.

It was fourth block, the last block of the day, and Huey had the most boring and easy class of the day, Computer Applications. But today, assignments were exceptionally hard. Huey was on his Excel unit when he heard a couple boys gossiping.

"Aye man you goin to that ballet thing tonight? Jazmine Dubois is Odette!" boy one said.

"Nah, man I ain't got a ticket. It's sold out. But you lucky. You get to stare at that beautiful goddess of a woman in a tight tutu," boy two said. Huey's head shot up from his computer and looked over to the other side of the room. They must not know that Jazmine has a boyfriend. A boyfriend who can ring a neck by just touching it. "Ain't she messin wit dat one dude, uh, what's his name?" boy two said.

"Yea, it's Darell ain't it?" boy one said. Huey was now getting really mad. Darell? "Nah, wait! Ain't it Huey Fre…" the two boys turned around and found Huey giving them the deadliest glare Huey has ever given anyone.

"Yea, I am," Huey said. The boys just turned right back around and continued to work. Huey continued his but was in deep thought. Why would they think Darell? Yea Jazmine and Darell practiced together and had a class together but she didn't want anything to do with him. Huey was getting confused. He completed his task, printed it and turned it in.

The final bell rang and Huey stormed out of the room. He went to the auditorium and tried looking through the doors but they were covered with paper. Damn, he thought. They must have covered them so nobody tried to glimpse at the dancers. But there was one corner of the window uncovered. Huey looked through it and saw Jazmine in her leotard and skirt and pointe shoes. She was being criticized quite harshly by Ms. Berkley. Huey could tell Jazmine was stressed out. Her eyebrows were furrowed, she kept rubbing her forhead, and her hands were on her hips frustratingly. Then Darell came into sight. Jazmine and he got in position and the orchestra played. Darell softly caressed Jazmine's arms which were parallel with hers and guided her body as she tiptoed across the stage. They met in an embrace, as Darell took her arm and hugged her and did the same with the other and rocked back and forth. The two's faces were expressed with love, passion and sincerity. Huey was getting rowled up now. Darel placed his hand on her hip and pulled her closer to him. Huey was about to burst through the door until a hand came over his shoulder.

"Practices are closed! Get out of here!" an instructor yelled. Huey stumbled and ran out of sight. As he walked outside to the parking lot, Cindy was already waiting for him.

"Damn, what took you so long," Cindy said. Huey rolled his eyes, unlocked the door and sat in. Cindy got in the back to sit with her boo. They stopped at J. Edgar Hoover and picked up Riley. "Sup babe, have a nice day?" Cindy asked.

"Man, don't even try that 'babe' shit on me," Riley said back. "I still ain't forgave you after this morning," Riley said. Cindy gave him a sensual but apologetic face.

"Awww, I'm sorry boo. Won't you ever…" she placed one hand on his chest. "forgive me?" she asked putting the other on his lap really close to his crotch. Riley perked up and smirked at her.

"Yea yea I forgive ya," Riley gave in as he leant in for a kiss. Huey just rolled his eyes at them. All that cupcakin back there mad Huey miss Jazmine. He only saw her through a covered glass window and that was it. He wanted to tell her good luck and that he loved her before she went on. Maybe he would have time to find her before she went on stage, highly doubt it.

Huey stopped at Cindy's house and let her out.

"See ya tonight I guess," Riley called out. Cindy waved goodbye and disappeared in her house. The brothers then drove home and got ready for the recital.

It was 7:30 p.m. and almost time to leave for the school. Huey and Granddad were ready to leave but Riley was being stubborn and taking forever.

"RILEY LET'S GO! COME ON WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!" Huey yelled upstairs. Riley was putting on his hoodie as he came down the stairs.

"Nigga I know you best stop yelling at me! I take however much time I wants to!" Riley retorted. Granddad and Huey just looked at him. Here they were dressed all formal and then there was Riley dressed in his usual thuggish look. "What?" Riley said.

"Nothing," Huey shook his head. "Now can we go?" Huey said heading out the door.

"Nigga chill, we gonna get there! I know you eager ta see yo little birdie piece a ass but don't swarm the girl!" Riley teased. Huey looked back at him and punched him in the gut.

"AAAGGHH NIGGA WHAT THE FUCK! YOU JUST HATIN CAUSE I'M RIGHT!" Riley yelled out.

"Will both of ya'll shut the fuck up! I ain't tryna deal with this all night!" Granddad scolded. All of them got in the car and started driving to the school.

When they got there, the parking lot was full, like extremely full. There were people parking on the sides of the streets and having to walk it was so full. But then they saw VIP parking where one space said, Freeman Party. They sighed in relief when they saw that. Jazmine must have insisted to the management for them to have a parking space. How sweet. They looked beside them and saw Cindy's family's and Jazmine's family's parking space too. Oh, great. Tom and Sarah were going to be there. Just great.

They walked in to the main foyer and saw that it was decorated black and white. There were black and white feathers all over the walls and tables. Huey looked at the left wall and saw a headlight picture of Jazmine and Darell in a romantic pose with Swan Lake in bright lights. There were refreshments on one table and shout out stands on the other. The walls were plastered with pictures of the staff and dancers. Huey looked at all of them. Jazmine was on 90% of all of them. Most were pictures of her in the middle of rehearsal in a beautiful pose on her tiptoes. Huey diverged his attention from the wall and saw a pair of familiar faces walking in. It was Tom and Sarah's and a couple more of Jazmine's family's. Tom noticed Huey looking at him and the two froze and looked at each other. Tom was the first to break the stare contest and kept walking.

"Ok everyone!" Ms. Berkley yelled over the huge crowd. "The show will start in 15 minutes. Now would be a good time to get settled in our seats and get ready for the show." She announced. Everyone headed to the doors to the auditorium and got in their seats. Huey met back up with Riley and Granddad. They saw their party name taped to the side of an aisle. Their seats were noted too. Riley was in E5, Huey was in E6, and Granddad was in E7. When Huey sat down, he noticed he had the best seat in the house. It was the perfect distance away from the stage, where you could see the back of the stage and gaze at almost eye level at whoever was in the front. Jazmine's family sat directly behind the Freemans. What could probably get worse? Of course, Tom sat right behind Huey. That's okay, because Tom would have to struggle seeing over Huey's afro. Cindy and her parents sat behind the Dubois. Riley looked back and winked at Cindy. Cindy winked back at him and bit her lip looking at him up and down lustfully. Riley smiled and turned back around.

"Please everyone, take your seats," a voice came over the speakers. "The show will be starting in 4 minutes. Please take this time to silence all phones, beepers, and watches. No flash or non-flash photography is allowed at any time during the performance. If an infant starts crying at any time, please attend to him or her outside. Any disturbances shall be asked to step outside until intermission, no exceptions. Thank you." Huey and Granddad both looked at Riley.

"Da hell ya'll lookin at?" Riley sassed. Huey shook his head and got ready for the show. He couldn't believe Jazmine was capable of going on with a show like this after all that happened. She must really be mentally tough to do something like this. One of the reasons I love her, Huey thought. All of a sudden, the lights dimmed until it was pitch black, resulting in a couple ooooooohs from excited audience members. And the show was about to begin.

HAHA! GONNA HAVE TA WAIT TIL NEXT TIME TO SEE THE SHOW. YEA I'M THAT MEAN MUAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA! R&R PLZ AND THANK YOU!
